Week One Preparation of D&D Encounters Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

1.  Read the EnWorld updates.

2. Get a mini like this




3.  Encourage the Players to select a Party theme on GroupMe.
    They are leaning towards Halflings, Doctor Who, and Bronnies. All rather awesome selections.

4. Ensure that we can roll our characters
If you see magic items of very high rarity or strange arrays of
ability scores, you can ask a player to provide documentation
for the irregularities. pg.3
    Looks like we are good. But the Adventure League Players Guide has:
Determine Ability Scores
You can generate your character’s ability scores using
one of the following methods:
• Standard set (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8)
• Customizing ability scores variant (Player’s Handbook chapter 1)
After assigning ability scores, apply your racial benefits to derive your starting ability score
    I have opened a case with WotC & taken the issue to social media.

    I have lost this argument on Social Media--still waiting for the WotC &
    Twitter responses--but it is not looking good...


5. Validate the Appendix A backgrounds

6. Listen to the Tome Show podcast from GenCon--Ready Set Play

7. Read up on Inspiration from PHB.

8.  Listen to the GenCon Panel When Kobolds Meet Tiamat (Kobold Press Tyranny of Dragons Panel; GenCon 2014)


9. Read the Module

M15 Game Day

Team Tuesday went to Magic and Monsters and  for M15 Game Day.  Team Milne was there--we had 11 people total. We split into two pods and drafted.


First round I played Lucas from the Milne Team--he had a good deck, but my Mono Blue was just to fast for him.






 My second match was the big event against Cameron--a rematch from last time.

My removal hurt him a lot & he could not draw anything to get out of a stalled bored state.

I was able to move past him as well..


Final round was against Jack and mostly just a friendly...he still has the best Mat & Deck combo:


Jack had a very fast deck that when it went off there was nothing I could do about it, but he struggled with my removal & blockers--he did not have that many tricks.





It was a great time.

Quick Match Before Algebra Homework

Jack has the complete Garruck line


and it brings him great joy


but not as much joy as his 7-0 run against my current deck...
